In Spiketag, the C in the above equation is not explicitly calculated in spikega.analysis.core.bayesian_decoding. When it comes to analysis, one when using the posterior would have to normalize it for rigour. Such normalizing is easy in python.

P /= P.sum()

It is not necessary to normalize it if the purpose is to find out the argmax rather than the max of P(x).
